Your Travel Guide to Thailand
All information & tips to prepare your trip in Thailand
Koh Ngai is on the ferry line between Phuket and Koh Lipe and on several speedboat lines. It is therefore very easy to get there from Phuket, Koh Lanta, the other islands of Trang, Trang of course and Koh Lipe. In high season, because in low season, there are only boats from Pak Meng Pier 40 kilometers from Trang.
From Bangkok, you can come by train to Trang (I recommend the night train because it is very long, book HERE) then go to an agency opposite the station to organize your transfer to Koh Ngai or organize it in advance via our agency Trang Wonders.
Otherwise, by plane, the companies Nok Air, Thai Lion Air and Air Asia offer flights to Trang from Don Muang airport. In the arrival hall of Trang airport, there is a kiosk that will offer you transfers, often private, van then boat to Koh Ngai otherwise, once again book it in advance via our travel agency in Trang. Air Asia's plane + transfer packages were canceled with COVID and have never been put back in place since.
Please note: many buses can only be booked 30 days before departure, so they will not appear in our booking partner's results if you search earlier.

The train is the cheapest way to travel in Thailand, especially in 3rd class. It is also where you get the closest to local people – an amazing experience...
Flying around Thailand is often not much more expensive than taking the bus, especially with the many special offers, and it is so much faster!
The train doesn't go everywhere in Thailand and doesn't serve some of the destinations tourists love. But by bus, you can get almost anywhere in the country...
Thailand has a great many islands with beautiful beaches, and apart from Koh Samui and Phuket, the boat is the only way to get there.
